Jean’s biography

DJ JEAN, a name who left his indelible traces in the contemporary national and international club scene. Well known for his turntable “skills”, his notoriously rebellious dissolute lifestyle and especially as a dedicated DJ!  He was also one of the first and very few DJ’s who gained his well earned status of a real Dutch celebrity! Jean is distinctive and overloaded with multiple awards, such as the SENA Award, an award for most played Club DJ on Dutch radio in the past ten years, he has been voted as BEST CLUB DJ for several times ! On top of that, he recently, late in 2009, received the very prestigious SLAM FM Ouvre Award!  There are also numerous nominations at big Award shows like the TMF AWARDS and SILVER STAR DANCE in the UK . AND BY THE WAY, LETS NOT FORGET HE IS THE MOST BOOKED DJ, ‘EVER’, IN THE NETHERLANDS.

His name counts many International classics / anthems as THE LAUNCH and EVERY SINGLE DAY, but also more recent highly successful co-productions as ORIGINAL DUTCH (#1 on dancetunes.nl) and THE BOMB!  Jean is the only Dutch DJ who produced over more than 30 compilation CD’s (IT 4 to 9, MADHOUSE 1 to 12), for a total sales both national as international of 500,000 CD’s! Also because of this international success, Jean has been spinning records at almost every party place all over the world! In over 20 countries and at numerous festivals in the most prominent and well known clubs! On the party Island IBIZA he played in all mayor clubs such as Amnesia, Pacha and Privilige.  His homebase remains in the Netherlands, where he’s also a very welcome guest at parties from 50 to 50,000 people.

This high degree of flexibility in terms of locations, price and musical interpretation, makes sure his popularity is still that huge in his homeland, that means both with his own as with the latest generation of clubbers!  The youngest and last generation’s even call DJ JEAN the founder of the modern house and DJ scene, or GODFATHER OF HOUSE!  This almost iconic status is obviously not created “just like that”, we’re talking about a DJ who does not want to be labeled for one particular musical style, but who loves to explore the rich variety of dance movements and always aims for the best during every gig! Whether it’s a grand cafe, a student party, club, festival, erotic or company event, his audience is the most important at any time; With Jean playing, no dancefloor is safe anymore, you better get ready to ROCK!!

Asha Soekhan was born in 1974 in Paramaribo, Surinam, a former Dutch colony. When she cried as a baby, her mother often corresponded with the remark: ‘it’s like she is singing!’.
 
At the age of 1 year and 7 months, her mother and Asha S. fled to The Netherlands, to find a better life for themselves. They first lived in Zeeland, where her story truly begins. Being the only (little) girl of color in the small town of Tholen, she had to fight her way through all kinds of discrimination brought up against her. But she could always fall back to the love songs by artists like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Sheila E, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Barbara Streisand and so on.
 
It is undeniable that ever since she was a child Asha S. had a real strong mind about being independent. This led to the situation that she left home at the age of 12, thinking and knowing she could rock the world by herself! She would prove her destiny: to live by herself!
 
It certainly enabled her to make her own decisions. It would also mean a turbulent life. Asha S. faced very good times. But there were also many lows. Despite of this she had never quit and always kept on working her as off! Being a strong woman!
 
To take it even a step further Asha Soekhan started her own business in 2010: Asha S. A step closer to full independence, She has proven to be a multi-functional, -national, independent woman. Her goals are to achieve the best with all the freedom a human being can have. To always be service minded. To shine in everything she does and if you think you know her, think twice. Asha S. is always educating herself and she learns a great life lesson each and every day!
 
This makes her unique in a world full of herds. If you think about freedom and hard work, you think of Asha S.!
 
Someone you can trust. Loyal. Independent. Caring. Love the job. Works till the job is finished and an success! Friendly. Flexible. Honest. Reliable. Always comes with solutions.
